In a journey through the most recent production of contemporary artists, we can certainly establish a “flare-up” of color, where the concept and material dialogue generate tension and delight. The new curatorial proposal of Galeria Azur Berlin manages to integrate a plurality of registers where fiction and information are manifested uniquely.

Continuities and ruptures move along these works forming solid and ethereal structures. The selection of works shows qualities of color, interest in gradations, timbral notes of tonal saturation, and nuances where

transparency and reflection play a fundamental role. Color expands with a great deal of sensuality, random or controlled, but consistently hypnotic.

Artists resort to dierent methods, techniques, and matter treatment to move along the diverse states of color. From the liquid to the solid, the eects of painting - such as investigative element - are glimpsed between transparencies, wear or matter resistance rather tactile or visual. The constant investigation of the matter, which in this exhibition shows as a "flare-up", emerges in these works as a back and forth game that invites rationalized decoding or carefree contemplation.
